Breaking: A Texas federal judge ruled to suspend the approval of the abortion-inducing drug mifepristone. The ruling could upend access to medication abortion nationwide. A federal judge in Washington issued a conflicting ruling almost simultaneously.
Mifeprex, the brand name for mifepristone, is a drug that is used to end an early pregnancy, seen here at Alamo Women’s Reproductive Services in San Antonio on June 14, 2022., The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
, and the language in the 67-page ruling, released at 5:30 p.m. Friday, reflects those ties — calling abortion providers “abortionists” and describing the procedure as killing or “starv[ing] the unborn human until death.”that prohibits the mailing of anything related to an abortion, which could have much wider effects than this one lawsuit.
The suit was brought by the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian law firm. In a hearing in mid-March, ADF attorney Erik Baptist agreed that a judge removing a long-approved drug from the market would be unprecedented but implored Kacsmaryk to “take whatever action to prevent harm.”Almost since the FDA approved mifepristone in 2000, anti-abortion groups have been working to reverse that decision.
In the hearing, ADF attorney Erin Morrow Hawley argued that allowing abortion medication to remain on the market was an “affront to the states,” in that it denied states that had banned abortion the ability to “protect the health and welfare of women and children within their boundaries.” “But pregnancy is not an illness, nor do chemical abortion drugs provide a therapeutic benefit over surgical abortion,” the lawsuit reads. “In asserting these transparently false conclusions, the FDA exceeded its regulatory authority to approve the drugs.”
